This was my first ever stop motion to see in my childhood, back then (2007, i was 7) i didn't know anything about models and i thought they were rc models. Since then my crane obsession have go to the max. And here was where it started. Thank you master!

I still come back to this video every now and then. Such joy it gives me and does give me that nostalgic feel.

8 years later I remembered this video. honestly amazingly done.

2019 . I love this vid

Found it again after losing it, pretty much is one of the only memories of my childhood. It´s like coming home almost, really is something special. Like, I don´t know. I really love it

you must have been part of many rig ups and rig downs . great job at every little detail in the video . you should send this to Liebherr

2020, achei esse vídeo maravilhoso, marcou minha infância,custei a achar ele, essa montagem e essa musica tudo de bom

I saw this video when I was only 7! I’ve been searching for it for months and now I FINALLY found it!

16 years later and still one of my favorites 😊

FANTASTIC!! Thanx for sharing this, I worked on the Ritz Carlton hotel in Double Bay, Sydney Australia. and I remember they brought in something similar. I remember when they first brought in the tracks on the back of 2 semi's it was HUGE....

I remember being 6 years old and watching this, I still remember and love this vid to this day. First time seeing it in years.

2021 still my favorite stop motion crane assembly video of all time

Amazing collection. Great time lapse and only one recordable during this construction. Phenomenal!

possibly the greatest internet video of all time.

extremely impressive work !

that is so good. almost professional quality, both engineering and filming!

that was awesome. I love how you made a whole life like scene out of it. And loved seeing the footsteps on the carpet. Lawlz.

There are lots of time elapse crane erecting videos on youtube, but this one is the best!! Best picture quality, good view etc..

Nicely done, looks really cool!

Awesome. There really ought to be a sixth star for rare videos like this. Great work - would like to see more.

I've seen many construction stop motions and this is by far the beast quality one I've seen. I always go back to this video when I refer people to a proper stop motion. Great work. Cheers

Wonderful animation, great job. That took a lot of hard work, and it is worth it. I really enjoyed it. Thank you!

Excellent attention to details and background activities during the crane erection process! Amazing how the stop motion animation brought the whole process to life! Great job!

Well done mate. Well done. Whatever anyone else says you have patience and stamina. All the best to you. And thank you. Thank you very much.

Wow, that was awesome!!! 5 stars for sure.

thats like $5K worth of the coolest toys ever... Found this crane model on a website that was selling 1:87 transport trucks. Figured there had to be a youtube vid and sure enough! here i am. Cool vid =)

wow very impressive ! Thank you to have passed time to take photos, and to make this really cool movie. Love the way you built it, respecting true life methods with your other cranes and trucks.

HOLY SHIT!!!! A fantastic video! Congratulations! Caraleo! Um video fantástico! Você está de parabéns!

Fabulous my friend. I loved every single model you have there, but was facinated by the massive crane itself. Looks like one i saw some years ago on a safety video about crane collapse.one called big blue lifting a stadium roof on. All i get to play around is Demags on the site i work on.had the 1600 tonne on site to lift a 23tonne concrete beam 103 m from the thing. thanks for posting.will send to all friends

That is one massive kit!!! Good job!!

Now that is the coolest set of toy any guy could want. Very good animation. Too bad there isn't enough room for a diorama. With that attention to detail, I'm sure that would be really good also. Really cool.

That was absolutely awesome!

that is mad top marks i love it i like the way you created the seen talk about thinking out side the box well done

AWESOME! Outstanding work.!

Wonderful clip! What an big effort you've maid to do this film.. I love the song to! Good choise of music by the way!

Really awesome Thank you for the vid must have been a lot of work but worthy!!! Take care Gasteraner

a true stop motion masterpiece. Unreal job!

like the perfect song to go with a time lapse

Well done, I enjoyed it very much!! Have already watched 3 times now :)

well done people like this keep our little planet alive cool vid.

Awesome!

Very impressive!! Hope to see more...

my dad sells manitowac and link belt cranes and excavators. his business also adopted the liebherr line recently... link belt is Rexco's crane cash cow so they only went with the liebherr loaders, excavators and scrap handlers.

All i got to say is AWESOME!!...WOW that was very impressive very...love the models just starting to get into it

excellent job,it also explain the technic of erction. congratulation!

very good video, takes a lot of time and patience to make a move like this TOP!!

that is one big crane. i'm obsessed with mammoet and they have like 10 of those. my 2 favourite crane. the first one is the manitwoc 18000

i made one of these big cranes... i think it was manitowac MAX-ER 2000 on model 2250. i made it from matches and toothpicks and glue. it was 1.5m high and it really works!

Great job dude people might not understand wat it is like to do this very very good job

very good i have seen this video 50 times!!!!

Ok, you are the biggest dork ever... but my 3yr old and I loved watching this. He often requests watching this video. Nice job on the stop animae.

Excellent video mate. Most enjoyable. Great work!

AMAZING!! 5 *!!!

very nice. I still prefer RC cranes models, but you are doing a great work simulating the operation on a static model.

Good Job!! Nice Crane. Good Fotomontage.

Wahnsinn!! Absolut cool gemacht! Bitte nochmehr !!

wot a great bit of film. top marks 4 a top job

Fantastic work!

Good Video. Nice model and good job. Gongratulation.

Amazing. Wow, well done. A very nice piece of animation. Dordtrecht (nog een Hollander hier?) said it for me: one of the best videos on KZfaq. It shows clearly what a load of work it is to erect such a crane, no matter that it's only a scale animation. And it also shows houw KZfaq was ment to be.

Very well done, mate you have a way with making the model world come to life, understanding that your abilities are more than a hobby, if you were outside or on a sand bed for real life background scenery, it would be hard to know the difference at times. Your animations skills are good and one day we will see a Short film with your skills behind them. Great hobby indeed. Good job. I saw years ago the Manitowoc 21000 for sale, but didn't buy and now it's hard to find.

that was 5 by 5 . bravo that was better than the real thing

thts wot i call a crane great work 5/5

That red crane appears to be a Manitowoc 555 crane . DHS Diecast sells this model online i think and they do deliver it in the states if im not wrong.

i know all about dhs diecast. best diecast retail company ever,the forum is wicked

too cool if it was just that easy in real life. that the best job site i ever seen

cool vid man ,like a little construction site great job

Superbe vidéo Belle patience pour le filmage en image par image,Bravo

Wow! Nicely done man!

Bravo really nicely done

Un travail de fou pour réaliser cette superbe vidéo. M.A.G.N.I.F.I.Q.U.E W.O.N.D.E.R.F.U.L.L

the manitowoc is a big crane.. i see these every day .. but never up close.. hard to imagine how big the liebherr is

That was awesome ! Well done !

Nice Perfekt and super, constructed via montage manual :)

Holy crap! nicely done!

genius that was pure genius.

as a model collector,I have to say GOOD JOB!!! I admire both your excellent animation skills and your spectacular model. Please keep up the good work and carry on!OORAH! -Marinekid2006(Trace)

this is the best video ive ever seen i love it cant get enough ! inspiring honest , ive just ordered my first crane and i cant wait !. Thank you for sharing and i look forward to more , cheers mate ausyguy1

@mizmixer He's talking about making the bottom pins at the butt and 1st section. You would have had to swing the assist rig right about 10ft. and re-rig the 1st section. Awesome vid. Made me homesick.

Very impressive my friend! Great job!

First class!!! The best I've seen!

Song title is "Clocks" by Coldplay

very good of do it!

awesome!!

You good sir are a god among men...

Conrad manufactures the LR 1750. TWH makes the Manitowoc 555. They're 1:50th scale models

bravo, very well done.

By the way, mizmixer, this is very cool. You did a fantastic job with the animation... Lot's of time and work!! Thank you!

Yes I enjoyed it, great work man!

nice model thinking of getting one myself

Amazing! I have done some stop animation with 60 or so, nothing compared to this! Great selection of positions and well everything Congrats!!!

Perfect work man. Cool video.

Yes I belive it will be that one! It has alot of more details than the Liebherr also.

Great video!! alot of work that is worth the little "minimovie" :)! Liked !

is Clock's to Coldplay

wow great job on the time lapse AWESOME! well done!

nice works

@MrWebcam8754 The song you are looking for is Coldplay - Clocks

I hope you continue makin videos like this, I enjoy so much. Are you a construction man or a real crane operator. Congratulations for your patience.

I was kinda expecting Gumby to come skating by.
